I use grey color shocks for the rear.. black for the front.. that way I never accidentally install them backwards.. anyway.. if you added o-rings to limit droop.. start with making sure front and rear pairs are the same length at full droop.. next take off the springs and see if they have the same rebound.. if not.. time to check for air.. make sure it is the correct weight oil.. same piston in both.. lots of things to fiddle with..🖖
Good stuff. I rebuilt all the shocks this week and just installed the Yeah Racing front universals last night. Noticed I had flipped a front A-Arm while doing the pivot balls the day before, swapped that around, front end is in good shape, front shocks I am running heavier oil than rear as I needed to stiffen it up. Similar rebound on all shocks. I will hit them with the calipers to check length. The O-ring I used in the rears are slightly thicker than the ones in the front by choice.
With the shorty pack I can move it around but the motor is just a heavy item on that back right corner. I'm not sure how to get the cross weight more in line. I played with preload to see what happened on the scales and it felt odd to play with preload unevenly on the shocks so I ditched that idea. I also won't have a chance to get it on the track until next week........
